Interrupting.
Important conversations. Friendly chats. Work issues. Deep, one on one romantic sharing. You folks do it almost constantly.
And I certainly dont think anybody is trying to be rude. I think its not even noticed consciously when you do it. I think its just the way you grew up and overall you are nice people. Only an outsider would even realize it.

Anyway, thanks for taking me in and making me feel welcome, just try not talk over me or interrupt me too much. Especially on those extremely rare occasions when I actually have something important to say.

P.S. GO DUCKS!

teach em how to pump thier own gas. that will keep them busier;)

I don't know why you would even try to draw this conclusion.
Inthe past 6 months I've had conversations with about 100 people here in Oregon.

Now that your ignorance is corrected, please be quiet and go away.

Haha, you're right. The 100 people you've met definitely means my living here for over two decades is insignificant in comparison. Pardon my ignorance...
You made a stupid comment with no experience of any significance to back it up. I pooter on your paltry six months. You be quiet and go away, like, back to whatever state you came from :p
No.
The 2 decades you have here means you cannot possibly be objective.
100 people is NOT "no experience of any significance".
And I will not pardon your ignorance when it is coupled with extreme stupidity and irrational thought.
You choose to be fucked up. You cant blame that on society or your parents. Thats all you.

I grew up in the south and the midwest. I guess I'm just used to common courtesies like people looking you in the eyes when speaking, employees greeting you when you walk into their stores, etc.

Maybe it's just Portland, but I always get the general feeling when I'm out there that people just think their poop doesn't stink.

I grew up in FL and lived in Cincinnati and DC in my college years. The PNW is the nicest place out of those on the whole. There will always be the exceptions. BTW, I was trying to be funny with that idiot comment.. ;)

You haven't figured out how to spell OREGONIAN after six months of living here? Maybe you stutter or are really boring and people don't want to hear you talk so they decide to interrupt.

The state is named Florida. The people living there are Floridans.

And finally, yes, I am an asshole. From assholia (AKA, New York).

Better then how Phoenix people call themselves Phoenicians.

Sorry, I thought my extreme stupidity, subjectivity and irrational thought would be very appropriate for a thread declaring an entire region rude based on your visit here. In other words, I'll spell it out:

"Oregonans are rude and disrespectful" = subjective, irrational, and therefore stupid (and misspelled, although the ignorance of this oversight pales in comparison to the thesis).

Now it's your turn to say "im not dumb, yur a dumb and its yur own falt cuz yur" and then I cut you off because I'm from Oregonan and am rude and disrespectful. ;)
